SURF TOBOGGAN Filed Jan. '7, 1955 ML Y ATTORNEY Patented Apr. 7, 1936UNITED STATES PATENT CFFICE 1 Claim.

This invention relates to liners for surf toboggans of the character setforth in U. S. Letters Patent granted April 16, 1918, and numbered1,262,989, and has for the primary object the provision of a devicewhich will retain the inflatable elements of the toboggan in properrelation to one another and to the outer covering and will preventchaiing or wearing of the latter and the covering of said inflatableelements and is so constructed that one of the inflatable elements maybe readily removed and replaced Without disturbing the other inflatableelements or the liner within the outer covering.

With these and other objects in view, this invention consists in certainnovel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts tobe hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had tothe following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure l isa top plan View, partly in section, illustrating a liner adapted to asurf toboggan of the patent referred to heretofore and is constructed inaccordance with my invention.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional View illus trating the same.

Figure 3 is a perspective view illustrating one of the sections of theliner.

Figure 4 is a perspective view illustrating a cover for one of theinflatable elements.

Figure 5 is a perspective View illustrating one of the inflatingelements.

Referring inv detail to the drawing, the numeral I indicates the outercovering of the toboggan constructed of any material suitable for thepurpose and held extended by removable inflating of chambers 1 bypartitions 8. The partitions 8 A are stitched or otherwise secured toopposite walls l of the liner. The sections of the liner are arrangedwithin the outer covering in endwise relation so that the chambers alignfor the purpose of receiving the inflatable elements 2 with theirCoverings 3 mounted thereon. The liner aids in retaining the inatableelements in proper relation to one another and prevents chang to thecoverings l and 3. The liner further reinforces the toboggan throughoutits length and width and due to its construction it will permit any oneof the iniatable elements and its respective covering 3 to be removedand replaced therein when desired.

Having described the invention, I claim:

In combination with a surf toboggan having an outer covering and aplurality of separable inflatable elements each provided with an innercovering removable therefrom, a reinforcing liner arranged in said outercovering and having chambers extending longitudinally of the outer coverand each chamber receiving an inflatable element and its covering toprevent the latter from chang itself against the outer covering andacting to retain said inflatable elements spaced from each other, saidliner including intermediate and end sections separable from each other.

PEARL SILVERNAIL.
